50+ videos walking you through Swift programming topics. This is a brand new language, get a head start! Swift is a multi-paradigm programming language developed by Apple for use with iOS and OS X. Designed to replace Objective C, work began on Swift in 2010 and the first mobile app was debuted in June 2014 at the Worldwide Developers Conference. Despite its goal of replacing Objective C, Swift is capable of working flawlessly alongside the more dated Objective C language while using the Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks.Swift is built with the LLVM compiler included in Xcode 6 beta, and uses the Objective-C runtime, allowing Objective-C, Objective-C++ and Swift code to run within a single program. During it’s debut, Swift was described as “Objective C without the C” by Apples VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi.
